If you need to know more before you commit to your purchase, keep reading while we take you through everything Grand Theft Auto 5 has to offer.
As one of the best PS5 games out there, all you really need to know is that Grand Theft Auto V is a must-own game. We reviewed the original release of Grand Theft Auto V and described it as offering a “beautiful world that is jam-packed with stuff to do” and including “complex characters [who] contribute to a very enjoyable story.”
The story follows three protagonists, so you get different perspectives of everything going on in-game. You can pursue the story or simply wander around the world doing what suits you. It’s the “stuff of blockbuster crime dramas” and incredibly gripping. You can also do fun side content like play tennis and golf, or even go to the movies. Since release, there have been more than 40 huge updates, and this release on the PS5 includes all of them. That means there’s always something new to do here.
With the upgraded version of Grand Theft Auto V, you get new graphics modes up to 4K resolution and 60 frames per second, HDR options, ray tracing, and improved texture quality. There’s also faster loading. Via the PS5 controller, you get the support of adaptive triggers and haptic feedback, so you feel more involved in the game. There’s also Tempest 3D audio support so the sounds of the world can be heard with pinpoint precision.
All those upgrades also feature in GTA Online, where you can choose from one of four illicit businesses then work your way up in the online world. It’s vast in all the right ways. Grand Theft Auto V is the game I keep coming back to as it’s always satisfying fun.
Usually $40, Grand Theft Auto V is currently down to $20 at Best Buy. A truly fantastic bargain for anyone looking for a game to get lost in for many hours to come, this is an unmissable deal if you don’t already own it. Check it out now by tapping the button below.
Acer’s Predator Atlas 8 finally has a US release date and price, several months after the company first showed off the handheld in May. The highlight is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip inside, which has been adopted by only a couple of other consoles besides the Atlas 8. This version will go on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99.
Acer originally said the Atlas 8 would arrive in North America in October, but left pricing open at the time. The launch came amid the ongoing DRAM crunch, which has made memory more expensive across the PC industry and complicated pricing for hardware makers.
Google Play is borrowing one of the Nintendo Switch’s most useful little tricks. A new Sidekick tool called Playbacks captures a short clip after something interesting has already happened, sparing players from running a screen recorder throughout an entire game.
Playbacks is part of Google Play Store v53.8 and keeps saved clips on the phone. Google first announced it earlier this month, but the new Play Store update marks its arrival for players. Anyone who has watched a perfect win vanish because the record button came too late already understands the appeal.
